About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Now the company has closed down and laid off its staff, although parent company Two Tribes Publishing is still in place, and still owns and publishes all of the games that the development studio put out over the years.

However, it sounds like this isn't the end for Two Tribes, as original co-founders Martijn Reuvers and Collin van Ginkel have formed a new development studio out of the ashes which they say will also be called Two Tribes, and plan to start making games all over again.

The big difference is that they plan to make much smaller and manageable games this time around, focusing first on a 2D side-scrolling shooter.
